How many battles can I lose?

I am a fighter
I have won battles
But I have lost more
I have the proof
Up and down
My wrists for all to see
Yet none do
But I like to think I can keep fighting my battles
If you don't see
Even though the tally marks of my losses go from 5 to 15 to 25 to 40
I keep fighting
But when I keep myself from adding a loss
I wish you would see
I wish you would help me from losing ever again
Because I am afraid someday
I will lose my final battle.
